Song: Tears
Artist: Rufio
Album: Perhaps, I suppose...
Tabbed by: Nick Niles (Nick617@aol.com)

My version of the Rufio song; when this was written, I
couldn't find any tabs online so this is goings straight
from the CD.

Tune to Drop D for this song.

Play around with octaves that he might use in some parts.

Intro

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|*----------------------------------------------------|
A|*----------------------------------------------------|
D|---5-------7---8----1------3-------------------------|
Play this 2x

Chorus (played before the verse, and then repeated later)

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|*----------------------------------------------------|
A|*----------------------------------------------------|
D|----5-5555-3-0-0--1----------------------------------|
Play this 4x

Verse

(Same as the intro, but once the verse picks up, play faster)

G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|*----------------------------------------------------|
A|*----------------------------------------------------|
D|---5-------7---8----1------3-------------------------|
Play this 2x

G|------------------------------------------------|
D|*-----------------------------------------------|
A|*-----------------------------------------------|
D|---55555---77--88888-11111111----3333333--------|
Then play this 2x

Play the Chorus 4x

Next play the intro 2x, and proceed for the second verse.

Chorus 4x again.

Bridge

G|--------------------------------------------|
D|*-------------------------------------------|
A|*-------------------------------------------|
D|---000-111--333333--------------------------|
"It's the light...behind the shadow..."

Solo

Could be played in either octave, I choose the high one.
One cool thing would be to embellish a little and make a
more melodic bassline here...a nice Gmin line or something?

G|-------------------------------------------------------|
D|*-----555-555--333-333--555-555--888-777---------------|
A|*------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|

The |-----------| could be played also as |---------|
|-888-777---| |---------|
|-----------| |-111-000-|
|-----------| |---------|


Play the Chorus again 4x, and that's the song!!

This song means so much to me, they tell it like it is. No words can express how you feel when someone you care about isn;t in your life anymore, but tears can. In the song it say "the pooring rain from my eyes, it means to much to keep inside"is my favorite line. i think that line pertically means when you feel like you need to cry dont keep it in, because whatever you are crying about means a lot to you and you need to express it somehow.

kinda reminds me of a line from The Juliana Theory's 'Constellation' ~ * words that can't be spoken stream off my face *, meaningful and beautiful all the same, x~X~x
